StyleTap Announces Immediate Availability of StyleTap® Platform for iPhone®
StyleTap Announces Immediate Availability of StyleTap® Platform for iPhone®TORONTO, Canada, March 22, 2010 – StyleTap Inc. today announced the release of StyleTap Platform for iPhone®, which allows over 30,000 applications originally written for Palm OS® to run on iPhone and iPod touch® devices.
"We have found that many users and businesses have made very large investments in acquiring and developing mobile applications, and these applications have been enhanced and refined to fit their needs like a glove," said Gregory Sokoloff, CEO of StyleTap. "With all the new smartphone platforms, users are reluctant to lock themselves into one platform or to make the same investment over and over for each new platform. StyleTap's cross-platform family of products can help make these problems go away.
"Naturally, we would prefer to be able to offer this product through the App Store, but unfortunately this is not currently possible due to Apple's restrictive policies, and instead this version of StyleTap will run on jailbroken devices. Although there are many useful and entertaining applications available through the Apple App Store, we continue to receive a flood of emails from users telling us that they need StyleTap in order to keep running the applications, not available on the App Store, that are critical to their lives and businesses."
StyleTap Platform for iPhone supports standard features that include TCP/IP networking, audio recording and playback, the ability to use the multi-gigabyte storage as a virtual memory card, and cut/copy/paste of text between native and Palm OS applications. It also provides innovative capabilities such as giving Palm OS applications access to the iPhone GPS by providing location information in standard GPS NMEA format.
StyleTap Platform for iPhone is the newest member of the StyleTap Platform family, which includes StyleTap Platform for Windows Mobile™ and StyleTap Platform for Symbian OS™. With StyleTap Platform, the same binary executable application can run on more smartphones and PDAs than for any other software runtime, while at the same time native code execution is supported on each device. For developers, this is "write once, profit everywhere."
Interested users and developers can visit www.styletap.com/iphone for instructions on obtaining a free 14-day trial of the iPhone version. StyleTap Platform for iPhone can be purchased for US$49.95.

StyleTap Announces OEM Agreement with Techneos
TORONTO, ON, Canada and VANCOUVER, BC, Canada, July 27, 2009 – StyleTap Inc. and Techneos Systems Inc. today announced the completion of an OEM agreement which allows Techneos to integrate StyleTap® Platform with its Entryware&tm; mobile survey application. The resulting Entryware 6.4 system enables customers to seamlessly obtain the benefits of the world’s most powerful and flexible mobile survey software on inexpensive and readily available devices running Windows Mobile&tm;.
A primary benefit of the integration of StyleTap Platform and Entryware is the elimination of the need for separate installation and licensing of the two products. Although existing versions of Entryware execute on StyleTap Platform, Entryware 6.4 was enhanced to recognize the StyleTap environment and to take advantage of device-specific capabilities, such as high-resolution screens and support for cameras on Windows Mobile smartphones.
"Many of our key customers were already using our product with StyleTap Platform," said Dave King, CEO of Techneos. "This integration makes it easier and faster to deploy Entryware on a wider range of devices, while maintaining a consistent user experience regardless of the hardware manufacturer. And for many of our global customers, the ability to use inexpensive devices that can easily be obtained in their local markets is essential to their use of our software."
StyleTap Platform enables developers of proven industry-leading applications, such as Entryware, that were originally written for Palm OS® devices, to now also run them on a large multi-vendor array of devices running Windows Mobile or Symbian OS. This gives corporate customers unprecedented freedom to choose the smartphone or PDA that meets their needs while still using their preferred mobile applications.
"This agreement not only makes Entryware easier for customers to deploy on other devices," said Gregory Sokoloff, president of StyleTap, "but as a developer, Techneos reaps the benefits of a cross-platform implementation with virtually none of the costs – instead of fighting with compatibility issues, they can focus all of their development efforts on innovative enhancements for Entryware."
For more information about Entryware 6.4 software, please go to www.techneos.com or contact a Techneos sales representative or reseller in your area.
